Tips on How to Survive the Exam Season

When it comes to the exam season, a lot of you may feel stressed, depressed or even want to escape. Here we have pieces of advice to help you get it through. ①__________.

During the semester, going to lectures and taking a lot of notes are the first steps in the learning process. Now, at the end of the week, gather all the notes you took during the week and run through your notes quickly.②__________If yes, great. If not, you have a lot of time left to understand before the exams take place. You can ask a friend, a teacher, you can look it up on the Internet or go to a library. This takes a little effort, but the results are great. Switch between different types of revision.

. ③__________Something that really helps is to plan different types of active studying while revising. You can, for example, study using flashcards for an hour, then work on the summary for an hour, then have lunch, etc.

Make the facts more relatable.

There are many different ways to do so. I’m going to give you two examples and the first one is to create vivid images, which can be really helpful for studying history. ④__________The second is to make yourself familiar with new words by looking for words that look alike in other languages.

Teach and learn outside of the classroom.

In my experience, teaching is the most efficient way of studying. By explaining the materials to yourself or to someone else, you’ll remember them a lot better.⑤__________The idea is to sit down and take turns explaining certain topics of the study material. Test yourself with past papers. At the end of the whole study process, you should prepare yourself to do past papers properly. Time yourself, don’t cheat, and mark it as if it were your real exam. Pay attention to the mistakes and revise the part you didn’t do well on until you can’t get it wrong any more. A. Prepare yourself in advance.

B. Make sure to be tough on yourself.

C. Even if you are motivated to study, everyone gets bored after a couple of hours of studying.

2

D. While doing this, constantly ask yourself, “Do I understand what I am reading?”

F. Try to imagine how the event took place and this allows you to remember certain details more accurately.

G. Look for a study buddy or small study group, and discussed everything you have studied before the exam.

Swim-with-dolphins

Humans have always been fascinated by dolphins and there has been a long history of association between the two. ①__________. The “swim-with-dolphins” tourist industry is becoming more popular every year. The chance to see dolphins in the wild is often a lifetime dream for many people and tour operators are always on the lookout to give their tourist swimmers the best experience they can. After all, it can cost a large amount of money to have this kind of holiday experience. ②__________

Research has shown that while dolphins can move away if they do not want to interact with human swimmers , they do not like it at all if the swimmers slip into the water directly on top of them or if humans are in their path of travel. However, if swimmers enter the water to one side of them, the dolphins do not avoid the swimmers to the same extent. ③__________ In all cases, the dolphins seem to have become more sensitive to the presence of the swimmers. For dolphins, swimming with humans is not necessarily a high priority(优先权). ④__________It is a new and unusual experience for them . ⑤__________The advice is that dolphins should be given adequate periods of time throughout the day when they are not exposed to tourism. Humans’ lifelong dreams of swimming with dolphins in the wild have severely affected them, leaving not enough time for them to rest and take care of their own babies.

If we are to enjoy these remarkable animals and not just use them for our entertainment, then we must carefully monitor the “swim-with-dolphins” industry worldwide. A. They cannot fulfill their lifelong dreams .

B. This possibly seems like less threatening behavior to them.

C. In the long term there could be harmful effects on the dolphin’s well-being. D. It is frequently asked whether “swim-with-dolphins” tourism should be stopped. E. So tour operators try to place eager swimmers as near as possible to the dolphins. F. Over time this has turned into a worldwide tourist activity--swimming with dolphins.

G. In fact , only some baby dolphins will be relatively willing to participate in the interaction. 5.根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。

The question might be common for most diners, but for him, it was entirely novel because he was homeless and was having the meal for free. ②__________.He had no preparation for it.

③__________But at night, it transforms itself into a pioneering place where homeless people such as Antonio can dine free of charge, at tables set with flowers, metal cutlery(餐具)and proper glasses.

3

The restaurant is the latest initiative(初步行动)from the charity Mensajeros de la Paz.It was founded years ago by Father Angel Garcia Rodriguez. Its business model – using breakfast and lunch takings from paying customers to fund free evening meals for the homeless - is simple enough. ④__________“The inspiration came from Pope Francis, who's spoken again and again about the importance of giving people dignity, whether it's through bread or through work,\" said Father Angel. “ ⑤__________People with nothing can come and eat in the restaurant and get the same treatment as everyone else. It's just common sense.\"

The female victim,surnamed Lin,reportedly got into an argument with the

waiter,surnamed Zhu,when Zhu refused her repeated request for additional soup for her pot.Lin was rushed to hospital and was diagnosed with severe bums on up to 40%of her body.② Many netizens criticized the waiter for being too impulsive and ignoring the possible consequences,but some also accused Lin of being too picky.Meanwhile,some came up with a question worthy of discussion:③

Many tragedies are caused by arguments and if the victim can control his or her anger and try to reach a compmmise,the tragedies could possibly be avoided.Sometimes so-called “cowardliness” can be a form of self-protection,especially when you are faced with strangers and you know little about their personalities.

Bad News for the Highly Intelligent

There are advantages to being smart. People who do well on IQ tests tend to be more successful in the classroom and the workplace. They also tend to live longer, healthier lives, and are less likely to experience negative life events.

①__________ In a study, Ruth Karpinski and her colleagues carried out a study on the members of Mensa, a high IQ society. The study covered mood (情绪) disorders and anxiety disorders. Respondents were asked to report whether they had ever suffered from each disorder. The researchers compared the percentage of those who reported disorder to the national average and found that Mensa’s highly intelligent members were more likely to suffer from a range of serious disorders. To explain their findings, Karpinski and his team bring up the hyper brain and hyper body theory. This theory holds that, for all of its advantages, being highly intelligent is associated with psychological and physiological “overexcitabilities”, or OE.②__________This can include anything from an astonishing sound to conflict with another person. According to the theory, OEs are more common in highly intelligent people. A highly intelligent person may overanalyze a disapproving comment made by a boss, imagining negative outcomes that simply wouldn’t occur to someone less intelligent.③__________

The results of this study must be interpreted cautiously. Showing that a disorder is more common in a sample of people with high IQs than in the general population doesn’t prove that high intelligence is the cause of the disorder.④__________All the same, the findings set the stage for research that promises to cast new light on the link between intelligence and health. One possibility is that associations between intelligence and health outcomes reflect pleiotropy (基因多效性), which occurs when a gene (基因) influences seemingly unrelated

characteristics.⑤__________In a 2015 study, Rosalind Arden and her colleagues concluded that the association between IQ and living longer is mostly explained by genetic factors. From a practical standpoint, this research may lead to insights about how to improve people’s psychological and physical well-being.

A. Now there’s some bad news for those smart people.

B. There is already some evidence to suggest that this is the case.

C. It is an unusually strong reaction to an environmental threat or abuse.

D. Scientists did many researches to understand the reasons behind the advantages.

E. That may cause the body’s stress response, which may make the person even more anxious. F. It’s also possible that people who join Mensa differ from other people in ways other than just IQ. G. They found that the differences between the respondents were seen for mood and anxiety disorders. 10.根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

Do teenagers know how to sleep? If you’re the parent of teens, you might be laughing to yourself. That’s all they know how to do. In truth, teens might not know enough about how to sleep, when to sleep and why. ①__________

Just as we focus on our diets and exercise for health, we need to consider sleep necessary to our mental, physical and psychological health. “Good” sleep is sleep that is long enough to allow your brain to remove the side effects of daytime brain activity. Consistent bed times and wakeup times are the key to keeping our sleep cycles. ②__________

Teens are social creatures, and the most attractive social “gathering” place these days is on their digital devices. ③__________. Ideally, we should avoid blue light for at least half an hour before bed. But social media and homework that requires screen time mean too many kids are powering up their devices when their bodies should be powering down for the night.

④__________Equally contributing to sleep issues are eating too late, taking naps, and failing to get enough exercise. In other words, these people never learned how to sleep.

Over time, poor sleep leads to a decline in mood. ⑤__________Significantly, when I speak to my adult patients who are struggling with sleep issues, nearly all of them say their sleep problems started in high school.

Therefore, I recommend sleep education. Otherwise, we won’t necessarily solve the health, safety and economic issues of sleepy teens.

A. When they are disturbed, our sleep is affected

B. Going to bed too late is only one part of sleep problems C. Being exposed to blue light from our screens delays sleep

D. Current school schedules allow for about seven hours of sleep a night

E. It also contributes to a lot of medical issues, from being fat to heart disease F. Later school start time really contributes to more sleep and improved health G. As far as I’m concerned, one important element is missing: sleep education

Some people describe American society as a salad bowl while others think of it as a melting pot.

In a bowl of salad, all the ingredients (原料) are mixed together. ①__________ Together, however, the ingredients make up a unity. All the ingredients of a salad contribute to the finished product. They may be covered with the same dressing (调味酱), but the green vegetables, tomatoes and cooked corn can all be seen for what they are. From this point of view,Americais very much like a salad bowl where individual ethnic groups mix together, yet maintain their cultural uniqueness. People may work together during the day at similar jobs and in the same companies, but at night they may return to their ethnic groups where their own individual culture directs their way of life. ②__________ Each ethnic group has its own special customs, language, food and traditions to protect and defend. This idea of the salad bowl is referred to as cultural diversity; that is, American society is a collection of various cultures living together in harmony within one country. ③__________ Here, society is like one large pot of soup. All cultural aspects are mixed together, sacrificing their original identity and keeping a bit of what they were to become a new reality. The longer the soup is cooked, the better the taste and the more likely it will be for the mixture to be cooked. In this sense,Americacan surely be seen as a melting pot where people from all over the world come to live and work together creating one nation. There are dozens of

7

Africa is a very diverse land with many different tribes. One tradition that many of these groups share is painting or marking their bodies and faces in color. They do this for many reasons. Some marks are used to identify people as part of a group. ① Let’s look at some different examples of body painting.

② Among the Masai of East Africa, when men are old enough to marry and make decisions for their people, they participate in a special ceremony in which they paint their heads and faces red. This ceremony takes place every seven to fourteen years, so there is not an exact age for participating in it. The Samburu, also from East Africa, like to paint their faces and hair red because they think it looks attractive.

③ To show that he has killed a lion, a man will paint his body with a natural white material, making special marks to represent this accomplishment. The Masai men also use this white to show that they are no longer boys and are considered adults.

One quite unusual example of face painting is done by the Wodaabe people of West Africa. Once a year, they have a beauty contest for men.④ Then they add white and black circles and lines. Black paint is used near the eyes and on the lips to draw attention to the whiteness of their eyes and teeth, which the Wodaabe consider most beautiful.⑤

2.与下文的衔接。they participate in a special ceremony in which they paint their heads and faces red.他们参加一些特殊的仪式,在这种仪式上他们头和脸涂上了红色。本自然段讲述了红色的意义,故答案应为A。

3.对下文的理解。To show that he has killed a lion, a man will paint his body with a natural white material, making special marks to represent this accomplishment.为了显示,他已经杀死了一头狮子,一个男士将把他涂成白色,使得这种特殊的标记来显示他们的成就。所以答案应为D,意为,是用独特的方式来显示他的勇敢。

4.上下文的衔接。The men paint their faces yellow and red.把他们的脸涂上黄色和红色,与下文接着再加上黑白相间的圆,在眼的附近和嘴唇上涂上黑色相照应,故答案为G。

16.答案：G; D; B; F; C 解析：

1.G根据该段小标题以及该空后的Quit trying to pay attention to more emails or get a high score可知,为了保证好的睡眠应该远离手机,故G项“手机游戏会影响人的睡眠”符合此处语境。
